This roasted radishes recipe makes an elegant and easy side dish that goes with anything!
Fresh red radishes are coated with oil and Italian seasonings and oven-roasted to tender perfection.
Easy Roasted Radishes
- Radishes are the perfect keto-friendly alternative to starchy root veggies like carrots and potatoes.
- They are a fresh and flavorful addition to any weeknight dinner or Sunday supper and any meal in between. Enjoy them as a side dish, a snack, or an appetizer.
- Roasting radishes caramelize the seasonings on the outside for a browned, crispy skin while the inside becomes creamy and infused with flavor.
Ingredients in Roasted Radishes
- Radishes: Choose fresh, bright red, heavy radishes, preferably with the greens attached. This recipe works with standard (AKA globe) red radishes, French radishes (which are more oval than round), colorful watermelon radishes, and even daikon radishes can be cut into thicker pieces and used in this recipe.
- Seasonings: Buy or make an Italian seasoning blend or experiment with your own favorite flavor profiles. For a milder seasoning, try beverything bagel seasoning or a zesty Cajun mix.
- Oil: Mild-flavored olive oil is used in this recipe, but you can use any oil you like, coconut, avocado, or sesame. Melted bacon grease is another option for a rich, smoky flavor. If a buttery flavor is what you want, mix melted butter with oil so the butter doesn’t burn as the radishes are roasting.
Variations
- Season and roast radishes with quartered beets, Brussels sprouts, carrots, or baby red potatoes. Make sure everything is cut into similar sizes.
- Add a savory topping by sprinkling a little parmesan cheese over the roasted radishes and popping them under the broiler until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
- If you buy radishes with the greens still attached, rinse them and add them to a salad. They are super-nutritious and have a peppery flavor similar to arugula. They also taste great steamed, like spinach.
How to Make Roasted Radishes
- Wash, dry, and trim radishes (full recipe below).
- Toss radishes in oil and sprinkle the seasonings over them.
- Roast radishes in a single layer.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve with sour cream (optional).
What to Serve with Roasted Radishes
Roasted red radishes can be enjoyed as an elegant appetizer or first course with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of homemade tzatziki Make the oven pull double duty and prepare baked chicken or pork. Add a kale Caesar salad and a simple sweet treat like a fruit crisp to round out the meal.
Leftover Radishes?
Store leftover roasted radishes in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Crisp them up by reheating in a small pan, under the broiler, or in the air fryer after tossing them in a little oil. They can also be enjoyed cold in an avocado salad, in a low-carb cauliflower potato salad, or added to a wrap.

Another great way to eat radishes! Candace’s Husband
The Italian seasoning is a bit much for us. We prefer them with just S&P and EVOO. Roasted until soft and they taste just like a buttered mash potato, but healthier for you!
